Arabic RTL for Claude Code

Automatically enables Right-to-Left (RTL) text direction inside Claude Code for VS Code when writing in Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian.

Features

• Auto mode ⭐ — Detects Arabic/Hebrew text and applies RTL automatically per message and per input
• Active mode — Adds a toggle button ع inside Claude Code's interface
• Always mode — Applies RTL to all text unconditionally
• Smart input — Switches input direction based on the first character typed (Arabic → RTL, Latin → LTR)
• Code blocks preserved — Terminal output, code, and tool results stay LTR

How it works

The extension directly patches Claude Code's bundled webview/index.css and webview/index.js files to inject RTL support. A backup is created before any changes, and the extension automatically re-injects after Claude Code updates.

Usage

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+R (or click the status bar item)
2. Choose a mode from the quick-pick menu
3. Reload the VS Code window when prompted
4. Open Claude Code — RTL is now active
